[Archers] Royal Round Rules

[teatimemates at earthlink.net]

Just a couple of minor commemnts - 

item 1A4 - I would still prefer to call it a 'timed' round instead of a 'speed' round. Speed gives the idea that you have to go very fast when all you need ot do is go as quickly as your individual skills allow within the allocated time. I think that this concept should be used everywhere we define and conduct a shoot under the clock.

item 1A8 - change '100 scores' to '90 scores per bow type' (30 days times 3 scores per day per bow type = 90)

general - leave 'Archery' in before scorekeeper. We SHOULD know what scorekeeper to send the scores to but there are always a few. . . . .

general - good catch on changing 'arrow' to 'shaft' (considering you use the crossbow :>)  )

Good going Siegfried.

Greetings to all Archery Marshals of Atlantia ...

I have been updating the Target Archery webpages (not quite finished yet, a 
few pieces are missing from the website currently and will be filled in 
shortly).

However, in the process, I ran into the Royal Round rules that existed on 
the website, and quickly realized that they were out of date with changes 
made by Mika and Ignacio.   They did not reflect the current way that all 
of us were operating.  Plus, as I read more, there were some potentially 
confusing bits, and some formatting issues I decided to take care of at the 
same time.

The result of this, can be found here:
http://archery.atlantia.sca.org/ranking_rules.html

I wish to put this version of the rules out and ask for comments on the 
changes I am proposing.  All changes in that document are marked in Orange, 
and all original text still exists (and is struck out)

Therefore, you should be able to easily see what, where, and why, I have 
changed some of the text.

If you have any input to add, I would greatly apprechiate it.

For those who would prefer the cliff notes versions of the major changes, 
here they are:

The changes we are all operating under, but aren't documented:

A) Mentioning that only 3 scores per day per archer per bow should be 
submitted and will be accepted.
B) Everyone is permanently allowed to wear the badge of their highest rank.
C) The 'Archer' rank carries a badge, black/silver/black
D) Allowing the Deputy Earl Marshal for Target Archery, and my deputies, to 
hand out archery badges.  (Note: I will still prefer and seek out for local 
Baron/ess to do this; however, in the case of Shires/etc, we need this 
quicker method)

and finally, the one change that I made myself (a NEW change)

E) I removed the lengthy section, that required local marshals to write to 
me to request badges.  These rules were written before the excellent 
scorekeeping system was created by Jonathas/Gregge.  As it stands now, it 
is very simple for me to see who needs a new badge, for what reasons, and 
to get it to them.  Therefore, I see no reason to place this extra burden 
on the local marshals, when the software takes care of it.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your comments.

Siegfried
Deputy Earl Marshal for Target Archery
